Could you please explain how bots interact with the Tear of Ashera? Specifically, how does the functionality of finding it work for them? How many map fragments do they need to find to determine its location? Or do they not need the map at all?

And could you please tell me, Hottabych? Your manuals don't mention the most important thing – how to delete it completely now? I created a hero. I drew an icon. I didn't like it, so I tried to redraw it, but it didn't work; the icon remained the same. I rewrote the icon files in the MapObjects folder, and they stopped displaying altogether. I deleted them completely, along with the xdb files, and tried to create new icons with the same names. But the new icons and xdb files didn't appear in the MapObjects folder. Is it possible to change the textures, and is it possible to delete this hero at all? If not, wouldn't it be more reasonable to simply put the textures in the Data folder and create objects on the map, so that they can be changed at any time?

Martha, you can change it; you just didn't understand how. To revert the texture changes, delete its xdb and dds files from the map archive (from data). To export it again, repeat the procedure. The files will reappear in data. If they don't appear, make sure you deleted the old files for this texture (from data), and in the editor, you clicked Resource=>CloseMOD.

Hottabych, you are right, CloseMOD, that's the problem. Since I haven't created any new mods, it didn't even occur to me that it was open again. Everything has been added, thank you.

Each time a map is opened, it leaves a cache in the Folder/Editor/H5Mods/ directory, which remains open in the editor until you click CloseMOD. Essentially, until the next map is opened, all the "missing" files are stored there.

Therefore, in case of any crash, instead of immediately opening a map and checking what has been saved, you should separately copy all the files from /Editor/H5Mods/MapName/.

Hottabych, I have a question. Although textures now change, I've noticed that the old textures remain in the Browse <Texture> Object Link list.
That is, the textures themselves are apparently gone, but their names are still there.
Is there a way to remove them from there — for example, delete the character and create it from scratch, or something simpler? If not removed, my list will end up being a mile long, and most of those textures will be non-functional.

When you have too many textures, delete the index.bin file.

Thank you, I will try.

Hello. I wrote the following script:

MainHero = "TestHero";
FirstQuestion = 0;

function TestQuestion( MainHero )
        if MainHero == "TestHero" then
                if ( GetHeroStat("TestHero", STAT_MOVE_POINTS) <= 99 ) then
                        if FirstQuestion == 0 then
                                FirstQuestion = 1;
                                MessageBox(GetMapDataPath().."TestQuestionInfo.txt");
                                    end;
	                QuestionBox({GetMapDataPath().."TestWork.txt"; TestWork_mp=100*GetHeroLevel("TestHero")}, "RunRun");
                end;
        end;
end;

function RunRun()
        if GetHeroStat("TestHero", STAT_MANA_POINTS) >= 8 then
                ChangeHeroStat("TestHero", STAT_MOVE_POINTS, 100*GetHeroLevel("TestHero"));
                ChangeHeroStat("TestHero", STAT_MANA_POINTS, -8);
                elseif GetHeroStat("TestHero", STAT_MANA_POINTS) < 8 then
                        MessageBox(GetMapDataPath().."TestWorkNoMana.txt");
        end;
end;              

Trigger( NEW_DAY_TRIGGER, "TestQuestion" );

If I agree in the QuestionBox, everything works and there are no errors, but for some reason, if I refuse (i.e., choose the Cancel answer), the console gives me the following error:
"(Script) Error: '=' expected;
last token read: '/ at line 1 in string "DoStringScript"
Script failed, unknown error"

Why is this happening? This isn't the complete script because only one function is automatically launched (another one, I'm launching this one manually), but could the problem be here?

Line 1 in this script looks like this, and it definitely shouldn't be causing an error:
---------------;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;===============

Hello.

Why is this happening? This isn't a complete script because only one function is automatically launched (the other one I launch manually), but could the problem be specifically here?

It might not be immediately obvious, but let's think about it:
If you're getting an error when the action is declined, then the error is in the function that's called when the action is declined. You don't have one. Try adding 'nil' as the last argument in QBox.

Hard to say off the top of your head, but let's think:
If you get an error on refusal, it means there's an error in the function called upon refusal. You don't have one. Try appending nil as the last argument in QBox.

The error is gone) Many thanks Strange — I based my QB on the devs' map with Freyda, where she's asked whether to pass through the dwarf garrison. I also dug into ToE maps; in the very first campaign map there, there's also a QB without a refusal argument. Or maybe the game complains about the third argument because I'm using a variable-transmitter to the text file "<TestWork_mp>"?

The error is gone) Many thanks Strange, I took the QB from a developer's map with Freyda as a basis, where she is asked whether to pass through the gnome garrison.

Or maybe the game complains about the third argument because I'm using a transmitter variable to the text file "<TestWork_mp>"?

To be honest, I haven't analyzed it that thoroughly, but I simply had similar errors, and most likely you're right: they occur when passing variables to the file. (I opened my map's script, and there are quite a few messages without refusal functions here, yet none of them transmit data). However, in the case of MessageBox specifically, nothing has ever broken for me personally.

Gentlemen, I have a question. Is it possible to add custom music to your character that isn't already in the game? I can't seem to get it to work. The editor creates the xdb file correctly when I try to specify my own file in ogg format, but the music doesn't play in the game. Has anyone tried doing this? Maybe the ogg file needs to be placed in a specific folder?
